Some are. Some aren’t. If they’re painted red, then that’s one thing but if they’re not then it’s not against the law.
Our firelane is painted yellow with signs every 20 feet announcing it’s a fire lane you better bet the police tag and tow. They’ve even towed the dry cleaners vans (business in the building) that park there to unload.
My business is rather safe where it’s at, dispatch is open 24/7 and their window to the world faces my building :)
